End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues

Kean not only acquired a wealth of information regarding awakening from The Person in the Mirror, but he also received some additional hints.

Jeremy had some speculative information regarding the awakening instance and the specific procedures involved before he completed it. In contrast, Kean had no need to engage in speculation, as The Person in the Mirror would provide him with all the necessary precautions.

"Aside from the usual precautions, when selecting an awakening instance, you must choose one with a difficulty level exceeding 50. Because if you opt for an awakening instance with a difficulty below level 50, it is highly likely that you will be unable to refresh the awakening gemstone."

The Person in the Mirror's admonition left Kean feeling somewhat perplexed.

At that moment, Kean was gripping the purple key that The Person in the Mirror had given him.

The purple key in Kean's hand bore slight differences compared to the purple key that Jeremy had obtained from the class change goddess, Janna.

The purple key in Kean's possession emitted a faint yellow glow.

This was primarily because the awakening key in his hand was imbued with divine power acquired by The Person in the Mirror through the essence of the Sun.

"Isn't it true that the awakening key is sufficient to unlock the awakening instance?

If I were to select an instance with a difficulty rating above level 50, as you suggest, I would find it exceedingly difficult to complete it on my own. You all should consider providing assistance during my attempt to conquer the awakening instance."

In response to Kean's request, The Person in the Mirror unequivocally declined.

"That is not possible.

Any player in an apocalypse game can only rely on their own strength while navigating through the awakening instance. Furthermore, during the process, the equipment and weapons you possess will also be subject to certain restrictions.

Only exceptionally powerful players in the apocalypse game have the capacity to acquire awakening gemstones within the awakening instance."

The assertions made by The Person in the Mirror only served to increase Kean's frustration.

In Kean's perspective, Jeremy had already come into contact with the awakening gemstone, which implied that Jeremy's progress far surpassed his own.

"If you cannot offer me any assistance, how am I supposed to surpass Jeremy's progress? Just as you mentioned, Jeremy has already encountered the awakening gemstone.

He may very well have even acquired it by now!"

At that moment, Kean was feeling extremely disheartened.

He even believed that The Person in the Mirror had provided him with the information a bit too late.

"If you could have given me the relevant information earlier, I might have been able to catch up with Jeremy's progress. If he has already begun his awakening, is it still possible for me to take action now?"

In response to Kean's inquiry, The Person in the Mirror patiently provided an explanation.

"He has merely come into contact with the awakening gemstone. Coming into contact with the awakening gemstone does not equate to him obtaining it. No player in any apocalypse game can complete the awakening instance on their first attempt.

Therefore, all you need to do is to initiate the awakening instance immediately, and then enter the instance to familiarize yourself with the environment."

"Once you have acquired the pertinent information regarding the awakening instance, please share it with us. We will provide you with substantial support during the forthcoming actions."

After receiving The Person in the Mirror's assurance, Kean nodded in satisfaction.

"If you had clarified your position earlier, I wouldn't have felt the need to engage in this tedious back-and-forth with you! Given that time is of the essence, let us commence our actions immediately."

Kean promptly grasped the purple awakening key, equipped his weapons, and began making his way toward the outskirts of the capital.

There exist numerous instances on the outskirts of the capital, and the difficulty level of these instances is predominantly above level 50. Instances rated below level 50 had long since been cleared away by the elite forces stationed around the capital.

As Kean took decisive action, Jeremy finally returned to his residence.

First, Jeremy placed the Dark Core into a specially designed box that he had crafted.

In order to mitigate the overwhelming influence of the dark powers contained within the Dark Core, Jeremy utilized some rare materials he had previously acquired within an instance to construct a box capable of isolating the dark powers.

Following this, Jeremy retrieved all of his weapons.

He needed to meticulously inventory the weapons at his disposal and select those that would be useful for his next foray into the awakening instance.

"Although I possess a considerable number of weapons, there are only a few that are sufficiently powerful in terms of level and effectiveness. If even the Longsword of the Undying cannot assist me in clearing the awakening instance, what other weapon could possibly help me succeed?"

Jeremy remarked to himself as he gazed at the eclectic array of weapons laid out before him.

Suddenly, Jeremy had a thought, perhaps he could borrow some weapons from others.

For instance, the staff he had previously entrusted to Bonnie and Ritchie's Ravager's Gloves.

While these two pieces of equipment may not compare to the Longsword of the Undying, they are certainly superior to the other gear Jeremy currently possesses.

Having made this decision, Jeremy resolved to reach out to Bonnie and Ritchie.

Just as he picked up his phone to dial Bonnie's number, a haunting voice unexpectedly reached his ears.

"I have something extremely important to communicate to you, you must come to the world I inhabit immediately!"

Jeremy was acutely aware that the voice belonged to the class change goddess, Janna.

He felt a twinge of confusion, wondering why the class change goddess, Janna, had summoned him at this particular moment.

Could it be that there was some other, more crucial information that she had forgotten to convey to him earlier?

Despite his uncertainties, Jeremy did not squander a single moment.

He swiftly utilized the gemstone provided to him by the [World] to transport himself to the space where the class change goddess Janna resided.

Upon seeing Jeremy, the class change goddess Janna urgently exclaimed, "You must expedite your actions. Someone else has already activated the awakening instance."

Upon hearing Janna's statement, Jeremy was not particularly surprised.

In his view, it was only natural that there were others whose levels were comparable to his own.

Thus, after he activated the awakening instance, it was reasonable to expect that those players in the apocalypse game with similar levels would also be able to access the awakening instance with relative ease.

"Why are you not the least bit anxious? Do you wish to have your first awakening opportunity snatched away by someone else?"

The class change goddess, Janna, expressed a hint of confusion.

"I find it entirely normal for such a situation to arise. Although my innate talent is quite high and I have received your assistance, others also possess their own advantages.

It is entirely plausible that there are individuals with formidable backgrounds whose leveling speed is comparable to mine, making it unsurprising that they could activate the awakening instance at this moment."

After hearing these words, the class change goddess Janna spoke with a touch of disappointment.

"Are you truly willing to forfeit this golden opportunity? I must inform you that the individual who has activated the awakening instance, aside from yourself, is named Kean."

Upon hearing the name Kean, Jeremy's expression underwent a dramatic transformation.

"What did you say?! The second individual to activate the awakening instance, aside from me, is actually Kean?!"

The class change goddess, Janna, nodded, feeling somewhat pleased with Jeremy's current reaction.

"Why didn't you inform me of such critical information sooner? I absolutely refuse to let Kean complete his awakening before I do!"

Having uttered these words, Jeremy promptly returned to the real world.

For Jeremy, the prospect of obtaining the rare talent associated with being the first to awaken was undoubtedly exhilarating.

However, if time proved insufficient and that rare talent were to be granted to someone else, he could reluctantly come to terms with it.

What he could not accept, under any circumstances, was the notion of that rare talent being awarded to Kean.

Jeremy raced back to the real world at the fastest speed possible, dialing Bonnie and Ritchie's numbers in rapid succession.

He hoped to formulate a plan for their second entry into the awakening instance by tonight.

Yet, he understood that relying solely on himself would make it quite difficult to devise a flawless strategy.

Therefore, he intended to summon both of the individuals he trusted to assist him.

After Jeremy departed, the class change goddess, Janna, muttered to herself.

"It seems that the resistance we are encountering in our plan this time is anything but ordinary. The minions of [Sun] have resorted to such despicable tactics."

"They actually utilized the divine power possessed by [Sun] to snatch a key to awakening from me. Are they not afraid that I might cause the person they have chosen to fail in their awakening process?"

At that moment, [World] emerged from the shadows.

"Since they dare to act in this manner, they undoubtedly possess a means to circuNovelFireent the influence you might exert during the awakening process. Although you are the class change goddess of the apocalypse game,

I hope you can comprehend that the authority you wield is not nearly as formidable as that held by other planners of the apocalypse game. If [Fool] truly intends to enter the apocalypse game directly, they will certainly be able to nullify all your powers."

Upon hearing [World]'s words, the expression on class change goddess Janna's face shifted to one of slight despondency.

"You are right, after all, I am merely a defeated individual trapped by them. However, there is one thing I do not understand: if [Fool] possesses such immense power, why have they not intervened yet?"

Upon hearing class change goddess Janna's statement, [World]'s expression grew more serious.

"I do not know, but I can assure you that [Fool] is undoubtedly devising a grander scheme! At the very least, it is far more ambitious and difficult to thwart than the plot I am about to confront."
